But no more iOS 18 updates. I’d love to know the actual breakdown of iOS versions running on devices right now. I haven’t heard Apple crowing about it this year, which makes me suspect the 26 upgrade number is still lagging behind.
Ars Technica had an interesting perspective recently on iOS 18 vs. 26 update adoption – https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/01/are-people-avoiding-ios-26-because-of-liquid-glass-its-complicated/ . It’s a bit of a statistical muddle.
Very unfortunate that Apple has consigned those of us that have devices theoretically capable of running iOS 26 to 18.7.2 . Since iOS 12 is still being patched, perhaps I should fire up one of my old phones and pick up security updates that way, versus subjecting myself to 26.
I’ve still got a device on iOS 9 and another on iOS 13.
